When it comes to Italian cooking, ask any chef and they will tell you the exact same thing: the quality of your dish is only as good as the freshness of your mozzarella.

Whether you are crafting a handcrafted Neapolitan pizza at home, layering a rich, bubbling lasagna, or curating a luxurious cheese platter for guests, standard supermarket cheese just doesn't cut it.

At IFM Gourmet Store Dubai, we bring the true taste of artisanal cheese making right to your kitchen with our Fresh Cow Mozzarella Block (1kg)—crafted for culinary perfection and delivered fresh across the UAE.

A Fresh Cow Mozzarella Block (1kg) (often referred to as Mozzarella Fior di Latte) is a versatile, semi-soft cheese crafted from 100% cow’s milk. Lower in moisture than soft water-packed mozzarella balls, block mozzarella is specifically designed for slicing, grating, and melting without creating excess wateriness.  

🍽 Best Uses & Applications of Mozzarella Block

  • Pizza: The gold standard for homemade or commercial pizzas, providing a rich stretch without sogginess.

  • Baked Dishes: Perfect for lasagnas, baked ziti, eggplants parmigiana, and casseroles.

  • Hot Sandwiches: Ideal for paninis, grilled cheese, and meatball subs.  

  • Shredding/Slicing: Block format makes it easy to portion and prep ahead of time.

💡 Storage Tips

  • Refrigeration: Store tightly wrapped at 2°C – 4°C.

  • Post-Opening: Once unwrapped, consume within 5 to 7 days for maximum freshness.

  • Freezing: Block mozzarella freezes exceptionally well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil; thaw completely in the fridge before shredding or melting.


What Makes Fresh Cow Mozzarella Block (Fiordilatte) So Special?

Unlike mass-produced processed cheese, authentic Fiordilatte (fresh cow milk mozzarella) is celebrated for its delicate, milky aroma, soft elasticity, and subtle sweetness.

Here is why top culinary chefs in Dubai insist on using fresh mozzarella blocks:

1. Peak Freshness & Superior Flavor

Because our mozzarella is made locally in the UAE from 100% pure, high-grade cow’s milk, it reaches your kitchen at the absolute peak of its freshness. Every slice offers a velvety texture and an authentic, creamy taste.

2. Unmatched Stretch & Melt Performance

Ever wonder how gourmet pizzerias achieve that gorgeous, stringy cheese pull without a greasy mess? Fresh cow mozzarella melts evenly at high heat without burning or separating into heavy oils, giving your pizzas and baked dishes that picture-perfect golden finish.

3. Ultimate Kitchen Versatility Fresh Cow Mozzarella Block

Buying mozzarella in a 1kg solid block gives you full culinary freedom:

  • Shred it coarsely for wood-fired style pizzas.

  • Slice it thick for classic Caprese salads with fresh basil and balsamic reduction.

  • Dice it into cubes for stuffed arancini or paninis.

  • Cube it to feature as a showstopper on artisanal cheese platters.

👨‍🍳 How to Store & Handle Your Mozzarella Block Like a Chef

To get the best possible flavor and performance out of your 1kg block, follow these simple chef-approved tips:

  1. Keep it Chilled: Store your fresh mozzarella block in the coldest part of your refrigerator between 2°C and 4°C.

  2. Bring to Room Temp (for raw dishes): If serving raw on a salad or cheese board, let it sit out for 10–15 minutes before serving to unlock its full milky flavor.

  3. Pat Dry for Pizza: When shredding fresh mozzarella for pizza, lightly pat the pieces with a paper towel to remove excess natural moisture—this keeps your pizza crust crisp!
